Aluminum Wiring
Houses
built between 1965 and 1972 may have aluminum wiring. In 1974,
two persons died in a home fire caused by faulty aluminum wiring.
After an extensive investigation of the cause of the fire, the
US
Consumer Product Safety Commission issued
Publication
516, REPAIRING ALUMINUM WIRING .
Aluminum wiring is typically marked with the word ALUMINUM or the symbol AL. Since most homes initially wired with aluminum wiring have had additional wiring installed, it is important to examine the labeling on the wiring.
